In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!
Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

Lamp error detection
This liquid-crystal color TV incorporates a lamp error detection feature (lamp error detection) that automatically turns OFF the power for safety under abnormal lamp or lamp circuit conditions.
If anything is wrong with the lamp or lamp circuit or when the lamp error detection feature is activated for some reason, the following will result.
1 The power of TV main body is turned OFF about six seconds after it is turned ON. (The power LED on the front of the TV turns red from green and keeps blinking in red (ON for 250ms and OFF for 1sec)).
2 If occurs five times consecutively, it becomes impossible to turn ON the power. (The power LED keeps blinking in red (ON for 250ms and OFF for 1sec)).
Measures
1) Checking with lamp error detection OFF
Refer to "Entering and exiting the adjustment process mode" in the section 10-2 to enter the display process mode.
If there is a problem with a lamp or a lamp circuit, the lamp will go out. (The power LED is green.)
Then, you can check the operation to see if the lamp and lamp circuit are abnormal.
2) Resetting the lamp error count
After you have finished checking whether the lamp and lamp circuit are abnormal, reset the lamp error count. If a lamp error is detected five consecutive times, the power cannot be turned on.
Therefore, move to the [L ERR RESET] line, the 5th line on the first page of the "Display process mode", using the Cursor UP/DOWN key. Then, reset the [L ERR RESET] value using the Cursor RIGHT/LEFT key. In this case, press the Cursor UP/DOWN key to reset it to "0".
